Score: 7.0/10 (Innovation: 7, Technical: 6, Documentation: 8, Utility: 7)

BitBang is a peer-to-peer tunneling tool that exposes local web servers and files directly to browsers using WebRTC, eliminating the need for cloud intermediaries or user accounts. It's interesting because it combines WebRTC's data channels with a lightweight signaling server to create a truly decentralized alternative to services like ngrok or Tailscale.

Target audience: backend devs, devops, security engineers
